Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
I've always been tempted by Yarns because it can do things with your MIDI signals (arpeggiator, euclidean sequencer, etc.)
Still not much cheaper though

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
The small and cheap unit I hear a lot of people talk about is the CVOCD, which also has the benefit of being outside the rack if you don’t mind that. I do not know how well it works specifically with the Digitakt. I can second the recommends on the Shuttle Control though, it works with everything I’ve thrown at it, including a Digitakt i owned briefly but also; my computer, a Linnstrument, Gotharman’s Fuzion and PolySpaze. It has guest or host connections too which Infond useful but not everyone might need.

This looks rad.
Thanks for the recommendations all. I may very well end up w/ the shuttle but it's a bit much to dive in to all at once. I'll try something more basic and then expand if my needs aren't met.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Nice Behn! I like my Drezno, I was running an LFO through mine last night and used that to modulate one parameter on the Electron Fuzz in that vid I sent you last night. Also, Yes - the RML Electron is the penultimate Euro CV fuzz. So Yummy!

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Anyone here using an FH-1? Looks like they fixed MIDI-over-USB compatibility w/ the Digitakt last year, and it's a decent size.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
To those asking about Digitakt integration:
1. I used uMIDI for a while. It was good for start/stop/run but I didn't love it. It was good for using with a keyboard but I didn't enjoy using DT with it.
2. I use Yarns now and it's great for sequencing up to 4 monophonic lines. You can set each CV/Gate out to a specific channel, then send that specific MIDI channel via DT and all the other shit that goes with it.
I finally found a long ass case that I'm interested in but I have no fucking clue how anything on the left side of the case is supposed to reach the power bus:
Furthermore, I am super salty I missed on Control Voltage selling the black Intellijel Stealth case. They must have had 2 cases total. I took too long to decide whether or not I wanted it (I really love the tilting mechanism and the 1U to replace some of the utility modules).

STEALTH ALWAYS.
if the Pluck sounds as good as i hope, want to grab a second and keep them tuned in 5ths. instant chord/double stop goodness.
